:00:25. > :00:25.exceptionally mild Monday, I will have your weather for the week

:00:26. > :00:30.ahead. The Business Secretary has said

:00:31. > :00:34.the Government is fully committed to supporting Vauxhall

:00:35. > :00:37.workers in Luton. Vauxhall's parent company

:00:38. > :00:40.General Motors is looking to sell it to the French company PSA which owns

:00:41. > :00:44.Peugeot - leading to fears about But, today, Greg Clark

:00:45. > :00:50.told the Commons he had Vauxhall has dominated

:00:51. > :00:58.this town since 1905. Then the remaining van plant also

:00:59. > :01:05.faced years of uncertainty as it waited to hear where the new Vivara

:01:06. > :01:09.van would be built. But that uncertainty lifted

:01:10. > :01:13.in 2011, when the new deal But that uncertainty has now

:01:14. > :01:19.returned following news of a possible takeover,

:01:20. > :01:21.which today led to questions If this takeover does go ahead,

:01:22. > :01:27.we need to get the message out that risking the closure of either

:01:28. > :01:30.facility would be a retrograde step, not just for the UK economy,

:01:31. > :01:34.but also for the new owners, so can the Secretary of State

:01:35. > :01:36.confirm that the Government stands ready to use all of the tools

:01:37. > :01:39.at its disposal to protect But the Business Secretary was quick

:01:40. > :01:44.to point out he had received some assurances about the future

:01:45. > :01:48.of Vauxhall in the UK. The PSA executives said

:01:49. > :01:51.that they too greatly and the commitment of its workforce

:01:52. > :01:55.and that any deal would build They also emphasised

:01:56. > :01:58.that their operational approach in recent years has not been

:01:59. > :02:01.to engage in plant closures but to focus on continuous

:02:02. > :02:07.improvements in plant performance. But aside from fears

:02:08. > :02:09.about what the takeover means for the Luton factory,

:02:10. > :02:12.concerns have also been raised about what any new deal could mean

:02:13. > :02:17.for the 15,000 people signed up to Vauxhall's pension scheme,

:02:18. > :02:20.a scheme which reportedly has Can he say a little bit

:02:21. > :02:31.about the Vauxhall pensioners in this country, many

:02:32. > :02:34.of whom are in my constituency and across Bedfordshire,

:02:35. > :02:36.they will be worried for the future Can he say a little bit on that

:02:37. > :02:41.issue as well as the jobs? The Government again said

:02:42. > :02:43.that it has made PSA aware of this contentious issue,

:02:44. > :02:45.but the big question the unions and workers have

:02:46. > :02:48.is what will Brexit actually mean And until the two-year negotiations

:02:49. > :02:51.with the EU have finished and the deal is on the table,

:02:52. > :02:54.the answer to that question Well, uncertainties over Brexit have

:02:55. > :03:04.also been on the minds of EU The fourth fastest-growing

:03:05. > :03:08.place in the country - between 2001 and 2011 Peterborough's

:03:09. > :03:14.population grew by more than 27,000 For example, more than 6,500

:03:15. > :03:20.people came from Poland. Today, the city's been

:03:21. > :03:27.celebrating its migrant communities, Alice, from Portugal,

:03:28. > :03:37.with her British husband, Stewart. She has been here for 13 years

:03:38. > :03:40.and is worried about whether EU citizens like her will be

:03:41. > :03:45.allowed to stay. Without guarantee, I don't know

:03:46. > :03:51.what will happen in two years. I am married to a Brit,

:03:52. > :03:54.so we have four children So if we would have to go,

:03:55. > :04:01.it would separate family. I came here in 1983 and I have

:04:02. > :04:11.since worked in the NHS. And since Brexit,

:04:12. > :04:15.I really feel insecure. It doesn't feel very good

:04:16. > :04:18.to be a foreigner in this My concern is that ordinary

:04:19. > :04:20.people, human beings, which we all are, are being treated

:04:21. > :04:23.as bargaining chips. I know that MPs have been saying

:04:24. > :04:29.we need the same guarantees from the European Union,

:04:30. > :04:31.but as we are the ones who are leaving, I think

:04:32. > :04:34.it is up to us to offer Today's event was a chance

:04:35. > :04:38.for people to come together to support those who have made

:04:39. > :04:41.Peterborough their home. There is no question that

:04:42. > :04:44.immigration has had an impact here in Peterborough,

:04:45. > :04:46.with latest census figures showing that in ten years,

:04:47. > :04:51.more than 27,000 people moved here. And the city is still one

:04:52. > :04:58.of the fastest-growing in Britain. But not everyone agrees

:04:59. > :05:02.that migration has been I think there's too many people that

:05:03. > :05:07.are in Peterborough now, and there's not enough houses

:05:08. > :05:10.and I think there will be It has been a city that I should

:05:11. > :05:18.think from the 1960s we have At the end of the day,

:05:19. > :05:25.there's reason for it to be good because we can redevelop,

:05:26. > :05:27.we can let people in, but at the end of the day,

:05:28. > :05:30.it is taking other people's jobs For families here, they fear that it

:05:31. > :05:35.could be a long time before they find out exactly

:05:36. > :05:40.where they stand. Peterborough's MP is part

:05:41. > :05:42.of the Government's team working out Earlier, I asked Stewart Jackson

:05:43. > :05:47.when EU migrants would countries do want to assist

:05:48. > :05:55.in securing the bonafides and future But as this process is going to be

:05:56. > :06:02.managed by the European Commission we're not really in a position

:06:03. > :06:07.to know quite when it will happen. But you can rest assured

:06:08. > :06:10.that the British Government, David Davis, Boris Johnson

:06:11. > :06:13.and particularly the Prime Minister, is absolutely committed

:06:14. > :06:15.to resolving this issue. And do you yourself believe that

:06:16. > :06:18.migration, especially from the EU, It has been good, but it

:06:19. > :06:23.is not a one-way street. People say, well, you know,

:06:24. > :06:26.they pay taxes, they work hard. That is all true and we welcome

:06:27. > :06:29.people who want to be decent citizens who make a contribution

:06:30. > :06:34.to our society in Peterborough. But the sheer size and scale

:06:35. > :06:39.of the EU migration since 2004 has placed a massive burden on

:06:40. > :06:43.public services in the city, particularly things like housing,

:06:44. > :06:47.school places, health So, you know, it is not just

:06:48. > :06:54.one side of the story. It is all very well the Treasury

:06:55. > :06:56.saying that the tax revenue is great, it is a net plus,

:06:57. > :06:59.but actually, my constituents have borne the burden of uncontrolled

:07:00. > :07:02.immigration over the last 12 years. It has been a very

:07:03. > :07:09.considerable burden. Jobs and facilities connected

:07:10. > :07:12.to Badminton England in Milton Keynes are hanging

:07:13. > :07:14.in the balance tonight, after the sport's appeal

:07:15. > :07:21.for Olympic funding failed. The announcement is a major blow

:07:22. > :07:24.to the sport, which won a medal in Rio and were on course

:07:25. > :07:30.for more in Tokyo. Our sports editor

:07:31. > :07:32.Jonathan Park reports. It was always going to be

:07:33. > :07:34.a decisive day for Badminton. Its funding was stripped by UK

:07:35. > :07:36.Sport, not convinced its players could win medals

:07:37. > :07:39.at the next Olympic Games in Tokyo. Their futures resting

:07:40. > :07:42.on the result of today's appeal. We were looking for about ?1.2

:07:43. > :07:51.million a year to get us to Tokyo. It is a tough hurdle to overcome,

:07:52. > :07:55.but it is not something that will deter our ambition to still deliver

:07:56. > :08:00.medals for Great Britain UK Sport distributes public money

:08:01. > :08:07.in the pursuit of medals. For London, badminton

:08:08. > :08:10.got ?17.4 million. Rio, it was reduced to ?5.7 million,

:08:11. > :08:14.which helped Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge win Britain's

:08:15. > :08:19.first Olympic medal for 12 years. A few months later, its entire

:08:20. > :08:23.funding was cut for Tokyo. After Rio, we were so positive,

:08:24. > :08:27.there was such a buzz in this badminton centre,

:08:28. > :08:30.we really were feeling like Milton Keynes,

:08:31. > :08:32.National Badminton Centre, this is it, we are just going to go

:08:33. > :08:35.onwards and upwards post Rio. I feel like it has just

:08:36. > :08:38.deflated everyone. Unlike 31 other Olympic

:08:39. > :08:42.and Paralympic sports, badminton will get nothing

:08:43. > :08:46.in the run-up to Tokyo. The number of players training

:08:47. > :08:49.here will be cut and staff at its headquarters in Milton Keynes

:08:50. > :08:51.have been warned of I knew the appeal was imminent,

:08:52. > :08:55.I didn't know it was actually today. It has big implications

:08:56. > :09:00.for the sport and also I mean, they have had the centre

:09:01. > :09:04.here in Milton Keynes for a while and so it obviously

:09:05. > :09:06.may threaten them. Badminton wants more moments

:09:07. > :09:09.like this but now needs to pick itself up off the floor and come up

:09:10. > :09:13.with a plan for Tokyo. Badminton has one last final attempt

:09:14. > :09:16.to try and save some of its funding and that is to appeal

:09:17. > :09:19.to the sport's resolution panel. It's got 20 days to decide

:09:20. > :09:22.whether or not to do that. I understand, though,

:09:23. > :09:28.that's an unlikely option. That's it from me -

:09:29. > :09:30.let's get the weather Hello, there, well it's a largely

:09:31. > :09:35.cloudy night with some outbreaks of rain and drizzle

:09:36. > :09:38.and we could have some heavy Temperatures, though, for many of us

:09:39. > :09:44.no lower than nine Celsius, So tomorrow, the front

:09:45. > :09:50.that the overnight rain's associated with eventually falls away

:09:51. > :09:53.to the south but it might take a little while to do that,

:09:54. > :09:56.so I think some rain and drizzle Eventually, it should become largely

:09:57. > :10:00.dry but I think we'll be left But if we get any brightness

:10:01. > :10:04.breaking through, we could actually get a degree or so higher than these

:10:05. > :10:08.values and we finish the day largely cloudy with perhaps a few bits

:10:09. > :10:11.and pieces of rain here and there. And then on Wednesday,

:10:12. > :10:12.another front pushing down from the north,

:10:13. > :10:14.a cold front. That's going to introduce more rain

:10:15. > :10:17.for a time but it will eventually clear away to the south and as that

:10:18. > :10:21.happens, we should start to see some dry and brighter conditions

:10:22. > :10:23.following in from the north. And then on Thursday, another front

:10:24. > :10:26.rattling in from the west, and the isobars very tightly packed,

:10:27. > :10:29.so it's going to be a windy day Eventually that rain clearing,

:10:30. > :10:36.so becoming drier and brighter with a few showers but the winds

:10:37. > :10:38.for a time strong And then those winds should

:10:39. > :10:42.ease down on Friday, becoming more northerly and perhaps

:10:43. > :10:44.dragging in a few showers which could turn a bit wintry,

:10:45. > :10:49.but it should be largely dry, Now, in a moment, the national

:10:50. > :10:52.forecast but I'll leave you the outlook for next weekend

:10:53. > :10:55.and on Saturday, some rain pushing in from the west but that

:10:56. > :10:58.should be gone by Sunday, which is looking largely fine

:10:59. > :11:01.and dry with sunshine and a few showers and it is likely

:11:02. > :11:13.to be fairly windy. As you have just seen, after a day

:11:14. > :11:16.in which some of you have been shedding the layers, you will be

:11:17. > :11:19.putting them back on for the rest of this week. Big changes ahead, all

:11:20. > :11:21.down to where the air has been coming from. Today, it originated in
